Electrical Duct Boring in the Metroplex

Power is the constraint everyone in this metro is building against, and getting feeders from substation to load without trenching live corridors is exactly what HDD is for. We bore duct banks under arterials, rail spurs, and finished sites — single conduit to multi-way banks with spacers, concrete encasement by others where the utility standard requires it.

Franchise-utility coordination is half the job here. Feeder crossings get built to the serving utility's spec and inspection, and the bore plan we submit shows depth of cover, separation from existing facilities, and entry/exit workspace — the items that stall approvals when they're missing.

On congested Dallas and Fort Worth streets, the bore is the easy part; proving what's already in the ground is the work. Expect potholing at every crossing utility on the alignment, priced as vac-ex hours in the scope, not discovered as a change order.

Straight answers

Do you handle the crossing permits?

City ROW and TxDOT UIR submittals we prepare and carry as a scope line; rail crossings run on the railroad's own permit and flagging clock, and we build that lead time into the schedule rather than pretending it away.
